THE RIGHT REGRETS
By Ralph Senensky 

Vancouver, BC. Englishman, Charles Wickham, doesn't notice he's being followed. A woman seats her herself across the room in a cafe holding a menu up to partially shield her face. Lily McHenry' eyes zeroe in on Charles and the scene goes into flashback. 

Antique Book Fair, Monterey, CA. The attraction is instant between Lily and Charles (who's a rare book dealer). 

He gives Lily his card once he knows she's "not taken". She reciprocates and gives him her number.

The twice divorced Lily says to her friend, Vera, "he has to be an asshole. I'm attracted to him". But this doesn't stop Lily from accepting his advances when he begins to call her, frequently. Finally giving in she invites him to her home in Monterey, CA. It's a perfect weekend, the two are in love. Except... The rub is whenever Lily talks about visiting Charles in Vancouver he changes the subject. Suspicious,  she confronts him. 

He continues to be evasive but asks Lily to be patient, that he has a decision to  make, but must make it alone.  Now Lily is even more suspicious and with a little prodding from Vera decides to find out just who the mysterious Charles Wickham really is and what he's hiding. Afraid of losing Charles but not afraid of the truth, she carries out a scheme that could end up being the first regret of her life.
